A neighborhood in Queens NY located just by the Jamaica Bay, where John Gotti use to live. Howard Beach is infamous for Mafia activities and "racial" crimes. Howard Beach is essentially just like Ozone Park, except the stuff you find in Howard Beach actually has quality to it. Cross Bay Boulevard, a busy 6 lane median divided boulevard that crosses the bay and go to Rockaway, is the major shopping strip for the neighborhood. Howard Beach might be a very attractive neighborhood in Queens with a lot going for it, but it also has the most wiggers out of any neighborhood in QueensNY.

Im from Howard Beach. Unless you have lived here you dont understand anything and therefore have no right to talk like you know the whole story of "The Infamous Howard Beach". Everybody outside of hb is so quick to call us racist and bias. When I was younger and john gotti was alive he took care of hb. We as kids were able to walk around any time of the day or night and not have to worry about getting jumped or robbed by ignoramous people from east ny. Yea were so racist right?? On halloween i was a victim of a hate crime. Im white and i was jumped by a group of about 15-20 black and puerto rican kids. They called me whiteboy and cracker. They tried to rob us and whn we didnt give up our stuff we were attacked. Out of complete suprise my friend was bambared. My friend recieved one punch to the temple witch landed him in the hospital with a severe concusion and amnesia. I was then attacked but i only sustained a bump on my head. While we were being attacked several times cracker and white boy was shouted at us....THIS WASN'T A HATE CRIME???? Not according to the NYPD. While in 2005 supposedly a fight happened and the black kid was called the n word an thats a hate crime? Still today u cannot walk around howard beach , constantly friends of mine are getting guns to their heads and jumped. Who are they getting jumped by? Teenagers who come from east ny. So everybody wants to judge hb and they know nothing about it. Your IGNORANT and keep leaving messages i want to see how ignorant you really are, you morons. By the way there is not a "large population of wiggers" in hb. Its mafia kids if anything so get ur facts straight you clowns.

Howard Beach is a town in the borough of Queens in NYC. Known as the former residence of John Gotti (mafia boss), Howard Beach has also been the site of two hate crimes occuring in the late 1980s and 2005. Despite these sordid activities perpetrated by a minority, Howard Beach remains a pretty cool place where you are sure to get great Italian food and maybe even catch a glimpse of a somewhat lavish party at Russo's on the Bay.

First of all, Howard Beach isn't "rich." You want rich, you go to suburban New England. Howard Beach is working class. Second, it isn't really that white. Only the Irish folks there are really white. There are many Italians there, and Italians are not really white in any real sense of the word. I'm Italian, and I'm more brown. I've been called "dago" and "greaseball." My ancestors have been discriminated against. Italians were lynched in large numbers in the South. Sacco and Vanzetti. Italian slums. So, no, Howard Beach isn't really that "white." Trust me, no rich whitebread WASP would wander into Howard Beach, see those guineas and call them "white." Guineas are guineas, not really "white". Howard Beach is also very diverse, too. Many different ethnicities.
